Swept Away
would definitely qualify as a shock. Me, I honestly saw this coming, well not, the move to GH, but the exit from ATWT. Once the drastic recent rewrites stopped the Holden/Molly story, Lesli smartly said adios. As for going to GH, well, I think the show is a mess, I would have never pictured her as Lois, and I never really even liked Lois. But going on any soap recently is a bit of a crapshoot.
